Not enough of a good thing

My general rule of thumb is that you can never have too much chocolate, garlic, or Law & Order, and apparently the same thing goes for coaches as well. OK, maybe there's a point where like 10 coaches would be too many (too many chefs ruin the soup?), but we're nowhere near that point.

This week has been awesome- we have our assistant coach, Dawn, in town for the week along with Niclas, our Swedish goalie coach (and by Swedish I mean he just arrived from Sweden on Sunday). We also had our USOC rep (and former National Team player) Mike in town to out at practice. To make the most of our handball entourage, we added a few more practices in the mornings, so there's been a lot going on. But I have to say, having this many coaches around really makes practice awesome; we can split up and work on different things, and the intensitiy is so much higher.

It's too bad we can't have three or more coaches with us all the time, I feel like we'd be able to get better so much faster! That being said, we'll take what we can get. Maybe it wouldn't be as exciting if we had it all the time :)

In other news, this week has been good preparation for us as we get ready for our first Quebec League games next week. I am REALLY looking forward to making the trip to Canada, it gets me all excited thinking that the season is starting again. I feel like we're going to do really well, so we better go 3-0 again next weekend! We're playing in Quebec City, so the drive will be long, but I don't mind. Supposedly we're going to have our new van (!?!!!!?) by then, so we don't have to worry about the car exploding on the way, which is a relief. And it is still early in the year, so maybe there won't be too much snow. Either way I get to kick it for a few hours and listen to my ipod and nap and relax and hang out with my cool teammates and get a change of scenery. Oh yeah, and work on my French, too :)

Yay handball!!!
